You showed up one October night, and nothing’s ever been the same
Only one thing that you saw in me, I didn’t see it ‘til it was too late
Now I’m standing here fixing all the mess I watched you make
And it’s such a shame, what I gave away, the person I became
Even though it’s over, I’m still carrying the weight
I just wanna sit it down and walk away
I’m starting over, I’m letting go
There are worse things than being alone
I fell so far, made mistakes of my own
Thought I knew it all, I don’t
It changed me forever, I can’t go back, but now, I know better
One year later, ten years older, one step closer
To starting over
Thought I was strong, maybe I’m not who I thought I was
Ran so far just to find that it’s not what I really want
All that I can do is try and pick these pieces up
And get back to the only thing I’ve found that’s really worth my love
I’m starting over, I’m letting go
There are worse things than being alone
I fell so far, made mistakes of my own
Thought I knew it all, I don’t
It changed me forever, I can’t go back, but now, I know better
One year later, ten years older, one step closer
To starting over
I’m relearning my old song
Back to what I knew all along
I grieve for all I’ve lost and what it cost
Even though it’s over, I’m still carrying the weight
Maybe when I sit it down, I’ll be okay
I’m starting over, I’m letting go
There are worse things than being alone
I’m starting over, I’m letting go
There are worse things than being alone
I fell so far, made mistakes of my own
Thought I knew it all, I don’t
It changed me forever, I can’t go back, but now, I know better
One year later, ten years older, one step closer
One year later, ten years sober, one step closer
To starting over
You showed up one October night
Now, nothing’s gonna be the same
